Astonishing Success.

1t is the duty of every person who
has used Boscbee's German Syrup to
let its wonderful qualities be known to
their friends in curing Consumption,
severe Coughs, Group, Asthma, Pneu-
monia, and in fact all throat and lung
diseases No person can use it with
out immediate relief. Three doses
will relieve any case, and we consider
it the duty Of all Druggists to recon-
mend j, to the poor, dying consump-
tive, at least to try one bottle, as 3d.
600 dozen bottles were sold last year
and no one case where it failed was
reported. Such medicine as the Ger
man Syrup cannot be too widely
known. Ask your druggist about it.
Sample bottles to try sold at 10 cents.
Regular size IS cents. Sold by all
druggists and dealers in the United
States and Canada.

Mr.. D. I. Wilcoxson, of Horse Cave,
KY, says he was, for many years, bad
ly afflicted with Phthisic, also Dia-

due principally to the get up of its
